Problem is finding the 808 in white. Who would have thought finding a good e-cig (that looks like a real cig) would be so hard??

My advice is to go with an 808. The two-piece design is incredibly convenient, has a ton of pre-filled flavored cartos, and the battery life is quite good...especially with the XLs. Vapor production is more than sufficient for a first-time vaper. I use a VaporKing from Index of / have absolutely no complaints. I have autos and manuals too. The autos are no-fuss, no-muss and work great. The manuals have a better hit though since they "pressurize" the cartomizer a bit when the atomizer fires by holding the button down. They actually help increase the vapor volume. I started with the autos but really my manuals now Good luck and keep on vaping!

You might want to look at volcanoecigs.com.
The Volcano model comes in white. The starter kit comes with two batteries and five boxes of cartriges for a comparatively low price. The Magma model is a bit more expensive and only comes in black. The batteries will last a bit longer though. Both models come with a pcc, or a portable charging kit so you can recharge the batteries anywhere.

I love my KR 808. I had to read a ton before deciding but glad I did. Go with the 808 you will not be dissapointed. I hate the manual bats though too much air on the pull.

cam, the air on draw is more about the cart/atty combo or cartos not the battery...manual or auto.. batts don't normally have any vent holes to add or take away from draw.. might want to check the other components for loose connection or other problems. IMO

White with red tip!!! Yea!! Now just need to find cork cartomizers!!

If by cork you mean you want that orange-ish looking one, I see V4L sells blanks with a color called "faux filter" - might be what you want. Could always just shoot them an email and ask. They would be for the kr808.

OK
I recomend the 510 too, but only if you're absolutely sure that batteries will last you. (I think most ppl end up vaping more often than they smoked) they have auto batteries just gotta find a kit with them in it. I got mine at litecigusa, but I don't think they have the auto batteries in a starter kit, and they don't have white which I would assume would would want since you want it to look real. I'd just google auto 510 starter kit, and see what comes up.

As for the carts most people buy juice to fill their own or drip since it's cheaper. you can even flavor your own if you want :)
 
My first e-cig purchase, 2 weeks ago: PigCig (one of the big battery models). I spent a week doing research -- given that there are TONS of options out there, which is crazy-confusing for total novices -- but one of the most knowledgeable-seeming and sharp reviewers out there posted a video review of this product. He gave great insight into the advantages of Ego-style big batteries over the (universally-recommended-for-beginners) KR808-D1 model, including i) far superior battery duration, and ii) big vape. But what sets the PigCig apart from the other big batts: you can use it w/ the numerous KR808-D1 and GreenCig cartomizers that are out there. Glad I went for this over a "training wheels" model. However, our objectives might differ: I want a big throat hit, plus -- especially after doing the research -- I stopped caring about how much my e-cig would resemble a real cig (the PigCig's name says it all). Was a light Marlboro Light smoker, btw
